Fleam Dyke and The Roman Road

Sunday was our Walking day and I was hoping to get a 20 miler.

We left Cambridge and walked out towards Fulbourne where we picked up the Fleam Dyke and walked the 5km along the dry chalklands to Balsham.

 At Balsham we picked up the Roman Road which took us back into Cambridge.

The Roman Road is a 10 mile historic route full of wild life and flowers.Infact we bumped into Julia and her working party who were clearing and raking the verges to make sure the wild flowers did not become over grown by the weeds and trees.

They are members of the Friends of the Roman road and Fleam  Dyke ,who  help the Green belt project.

 Information from my pedometer was….  lost  :-(   but I know it was over 21 miles

Varsity Lacrosse Match

On Saturday we joined Philip the Entrepreneur to watch the Cambridge V Oxford    Lacrosse tournament, on Parkers Piece.

There were many games, men’s, women’s and mixed, all very enjoyable to watch.

Philips newest venture is Equity Fingerprint which can be seen on you tube.

Many Thanks for the delicious lunch, and invite to the champagne party in May….. I may have a dress by then 🙂

Dance Music with a Difference…

If you ever find yourself in Cambridge on the first Friday of the month, be sure to drop into the Cellar Bar 8, just behind the Grafton centre.

For one night each month this venue is transformed into a small corner of Africa, as the band Afro Tema take over for the evening.

Afro Tema’s music ranges from modern west African funk to languid Reggae,and is definitely infectious.

So if you want to experience something different it’s well worth a detour from your usual haunts.
